Welcoming our Bees

A beehive we have called Smiley Hive has been installed at ASPS! The bee group, Andrea from Garden, Jemima a parent and Ms Hui have been working hard to make this happen. 

A big thank you to Katrina Massey and the bee team at Camberwell Grammar, who have also helped with securing the bee project and funding part of the process. 

Who is in the bee group you may ask? Natasha Thomas, Mathilda Kwok, James Collett, Lucas Yap, Lesan Perera, Cheng Cheng Lu and Arya Mahase from 4C. 

There are about 25 000 to 30 000 bees in our beehive and they will be able to make at least 30 jars of honey next year.  The bee group has been working hard to make sure everyone is safe around the bee hive. 

The beehive has been installed down near the water tanks where they are fenced off so everyone will be safe, including the bees so they can do their work! 

We will be speaking at the final assembly next week and we will talk about the beehive and some fun bee facts to the school.
